Annual Reports.

The annual report Of Paymaster General
Fulton of the Navy recommends the appoint
ment of an Assistant Paymaster General
and an increase in the number of officers in
the pay corps. The report states that the
work of reOrganization and concentration of
naval stores has been successfully carried
into effect.
Second Comptroller Butler has made his
annual report in which he states that during
the year 51,002 claims were passed upon,
aggregating $167, ,464,7 772. The reeommenda-
tion for the enactment of a statute of limita-
tions upon government claims is renewed.
English Precautions.
The British minister has informed the De-
partment of State that his government deems
it necessary to rigidly enforce the act of
Parliament of 1875, which renders a person
importing explosives in baggage into the
United Kingdom liable to heavy penalties in
addition to the forfeiture of the explosives.
The Imprisoned Virginia Attorneys.
The Supreme Court this afternoon list
ened to the arguments in the Virginia ha-
beas corpus case of Attorney General Ayers
and Commonwealth Attorneys Seats and
McCabe, who were fined and imprisoned for
disregarding the decision of Judge Bond of
the United States Circuit Court in coupon
cases. Ex-senator Conkling and John Ran
d0lph Tucker spoke for the petitioners, and
William L. Rayel and Ex-Governor d. r.
Chamberlain for the bondholders.
Instructions to Eastport's Collector.
Assistant Secretary Maynard has instruct
ed the collector of customs at Eastport, Me-.
to conform the practice at that port of class
flying canned blueberries to the decisions of
the Supreme Court in regard to coverings, so
that hereafter in all cases where either the
invoice or entry shows the cost of the cans,
cases and packing, or either of them, and al
so show that such value was included in the
total invoice value, the cost thereof shall be
deducted either by the importer or the ap-
praising officer, before the assessment of du-
ty. If however, such reduction, says Mr..
Maynard, results in leaving an insufficient
value for the merchandise per Sc, the inn
porters may make an addition ON entry suffi-
clent to make the foreign market value of
the merchandise; and if they fail to make
such addition. or if the addition made by
them is insufficient for that purpose, the ap-
praiser should make the requisite addition
for the purpose of assessing duty.

Had fallen three hours before. m 81
Oh !! she was child OF his old age, zs5
Il And she lay In his arms a-dying;
The nightrwind crept up the narrow stair,
But fed through the window sighing. 4s

Her breathing was hurried and low,
Her mother had died night like this,
just seven long years ago. Ia

Is bound up In the life of the child.

''LooE 1ooh! look at it. sailing there!
The goOu Lord hath sent His silver boat
He has heard and answered my prayer.
1T came last night, but you were asleep,
The windows were fastened tight;
held out my arms but it sailed away,
Sailed far away out Of sight''
The old mans eyes were blinded with tears,
AS they followed hers to the sky,
And he only saw the crescent moon
In storm of clouds drift by
But light not born of earth or sky, -
Shone now in the eyes of the maiden;
ut comes, dear father, it comes!'' she cried.
For the weary and heavy-laden.
II shall sail on through the brilliant stars,
To Gods beautiful home on high,
And He will send it again for you
In little while. Good .bv!"
The moonlight strayed from the garret floor,
The crescent moon sailed out Of sight;
But the old man knew that his wife and child
